Is there a tool or way to maintain 2 fully different "UI Sets"?

I’m not exactly sure exactly what to call it so I will just say “UI Sets” as per the title.

Basically for context I play with quite a lot of addons, my addons list in the game menu is quite long and I very much like my customized UI for when I am playing the game 99% of the time. However recently with Shadowlands expanding and making controller support official I was messing around with it and found it was quite nice to use this type of set up for casual daily content from my couch or even from bed. My biggest problem is the UI, my data cluttered UI I enjoy in my normal playtime doesn’t play well with a controller set up much further away from the screen.

What I’d like to do is basically have a second total UI set up, where I can maybe disable half my usual addons that I don’t need for that type of casual play, have my unit frames set up differently, action bars, etc to accomodate the different set up. But I don’t know of a way I can do this and swap back and forth easily/quickly that doesn’t involve a very annoying process of enabling/disabling all my addons I do or don’t want between which “UI Set” I am using and having to hope all my addons have a Profile mode that lets me swap between 2 layouts, etc.

Knowing there are some tools out there (Like the old Curse/Twitch addon manager) that lets you backup and restore addons in case of data loss, I was wondering if anyone had made a similar tool for my niche case that would allow me to swap between 2 totally different UI setups instead?

Addon Control Panel will let you create sets of addons and swap them with a simple /reload.

Reflux2 will let you create system wide profiles for your addons, including emulating profiles for those addons that don’t normally support them, and you can swap them on the fly.

Will take a lot of work to set them up initially, but should cover what you are looking for.

Another possibility (if you have one) is to use a second PC for the controller setup, with its own set of addons completely separate from the main PC’s KB+M setup. Only issue here is that keybindings are stored server-side so you’d need to account for that somewhere. You could use the console keybinds as the alternate keybinds for everything, but if you use any kind of modifier macros you are going to be in for a rough time.

Thank you, not sure how I’ve never heard of Reflux
